Letter: Vote for fire levy

Our Delhi Fire Department's paramedics have taken members of our family to the hospital for different serious medical conditions. The paramedics were fantastic! They were kind, caring, and professional. We are fortunate to have these men and women and it is comforting to know that when you dial 911 it seems they are pulling up when you hang up the telephone.

After watching them work, I decided to take the Delhi Citizens Fire Academy class. It was amazing to see how much training they go through to keep us safe from fire and provide us with first class medical care.

I remember when the fire levy failed in 2004 and the large fire at Delshire while our valuable paramedics/firefighters were laid off with years of experience and fire stations were closed.

Let's not repeat that terrible time in our history and support the upcoming fire levy to maintain our Delhi professional paramedic and fire services.
